A police officer was assaulted and another one had a bottle thrown at him in a brawl in Leatherhead on Saturday.

Police were called to a disturbance outside the One Stop Shop in Kingston Road at 8.20pm and arrested one man under Section 5 of the Public Order Act. He assaulted an officer as he was being arrested.

Shortly afterwards, a crowd of his friends and a group of young people from the nearby recreation ground, who police believed seemed drunk and violent, approached the officers, who had called for more back up.

One man from the gang threw a bottle at another officer and was subsequently arrested.

Three others were also arrested following the incident.

They have all been bailed while officers are conducting their investigation.
